SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 513,092, dated January 23, 1894. Application led November l5, 1892.L Serial No. 452,057. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL DEVLIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Worcester, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Faucets, of which the following is a specification.

The aim of this invention is to produce aV ferent form of deflector, as hereinafter described, and Figs. 5 and 6 represent modifications of the valve.

Referring to the drawings and in detail,A represents a suitable casing, of which C is the induction and B the eduction passage, and the induction and eduction passages are separated by the partition C', which has a raised portion or rim c, which forms the valve-seat. Extending through the induction passage C is a tube D,into which tits the bifurcated piston or plunger E, which has the arms e, and into this plunger lits the extending arm I of the operating lever I, which is pivoted between the lugs e', formed on the main casing, on the pin or screw I2. The eduction passage is extended back under this plunger E, as at B and a lever B3 is pivoted on a pin B4, driven into the easing, as shown, and this lever B3 may be inserted in place by means of a plug B2 which is screwed into'the end of the chamber B of the eduction.v A suitable cap II is screwed into, and covers the top of the faucet, as shown.

Formed on the inside of the main casing are small ears G4, and driven down, and fitting nicely into the main casing A, is a part that I term the deflector G2, which has extending ribs G2, whereby the same fits into the main casing.

J represents the main valve, and the same fits verynearly snugly to the main casing, and

lthe same'has the shoulder J2, which extends over the detlector, as shown, and arranged in the main valve is the packing J3, which bears on the seat c; and the valve has an extending stem J4, which rests against the lever B3.

It will be seen that by depressing the handle I, the plunger E will be pushed down, and the valve raised up; and, as all this mechanism is arranged in the eduction passage, no packing whatever is necessary. Also, it will be seen that the pressure of the water', when the valve is open, strikes both on the under side of the valve, and on the under side of the shoulder J2. This is an important point, because the valve, as shown, closes with the pressure, but against the impact of the incoming water, whereby the same will move nicely and easily to its seat, the stream being directed by a shoulder R against the deiiector whereby the same will strike against the deflector, and by the latter be directed against the lower face of the valve J and the shoulder J2. The deector can be cast and made solid with the main framing as at J 6, as shown in Fig. 4.

The valve, instead of having a stem cast integral therewith, may have a stem J40 driven into the same, which can be removed, and it' desired a small valve K used instead of the same. This small valve K has an extending stem K', which rests against the lever B3; and when the faucet is organized as thus described, the operation is of the well-known piston-valve type; that is, the pressure will normally keep the valve to its seat, but, if the valve K should be raised, the-water could flow out through the main valve, faster than itcould corneup around the shoulder J2, whereby the pressure acting upon the under side of the shoulder J 2 will raise the Valve; and then when the valve K is allowed to drop to its seat, the pressure willbe restored above the mainvalve, and the main valve forced to its seat. The principal point, and the important feature of this valve which I wish to cover broadly, is in a valve which closes with the pressure, a1'- ranging the induction so that the stream will be forced against the face of the valve, or against a shoulder thereof to force the valve to close against the impact of the water. This will prevent, under all conditions, any hammering of the valve to its seatl IOO The details herein shown and described may be greatly varied by a skilled mechanic without departing from the scope of my invention, as expressed in the claims.

I-Iaving thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination in a valve of the casing having a valve-seat arranged therein, a valve arranged on the induction side of the valveseat, and having a shoulder formed thereon, means for operating the valve, and a suitable stationary defleetor arranged in the main casing above the valve-seat, and around the valve, beneath the shoulder thereon so as to direct the induction against the shoulder of the Valve, substantially as described.

2. The combination in a valve of the casing having a valve seat arranged therein, a valve arranged on the induction side of the valveseat, means for operating'the valve, said valve having ashoulder formed near the upper edge thereof, and a deflector arranged in the casing above and extending below the valve-seat,

around the valve and below the shoulder thereof, so as to direct the impact of the incoming stream both against the shoulder and the bottom of the valve, substantially as described. f

3. The combination in a valve of the casing, asuitable valve-seat arranged therein, a valve .I arranged on the induction side of the valveseat, said valve having a shoulder as J 2, means for operating the valve, and a removable stationary delector as G2 arranged in the casing below the shoulder on the valve, and having ribs G3 fitting to the main casing, whereby the impact of the incoming stream will be directed both against the shoulder and the lower face of the valve, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

DANIEL DEVLIN.
